Installing the 153C Contactor (included)

T
he 153C Contactor is activated by the weight of a passing train. Place the Contactor under
any O or O-27 gauge track section, as shown in Figure 1.
One of the track ties should rest firmly upon the top of the pressure plate. If your layout is
fastened to a board, loosen several sections on either side of the Contactor so that the track is
able to bend under the weight of the train.
